KUDS22HT0 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

Removed the old part. It came out with no problem
due to being brittle and cracked. This part was original to my 15 1/2 year old dishwasher.

Ran hot tap water in the sink and soaked the new "Rubber Water Delivery Tube" for about 5 min. I put a little dish washing liquid on dishwasher part where tube was to be slid onto. Including the soaking time,repair took less than 5 1/2 min.

I'm very pleased by the fact that my part arrived in a little over 1 1/2 days.

Was lucky the part was available. I put liquid detergent on both ends of tube, then slid each end onto each sleeve. Works great now!

I removed the old tube. I rubbed vegetable oil on the inside of both ends. The new tube slipped on with no
problem, and that was the end of the repair.

I heated both ends of rubber hose and applied a small amount of vaseline inside of tube and it slid on real easy. It took less than 5 minutes to finish the task.

I ran the tube under warm water and it was very easy to connect. I would have done it a lot sooner if I had known how easy it would be to find the part and install it.

The hardest thing was getting the old one off and easy snapped the new one on

I removed the roll out top wire rack of the dishwasher, turned it over and pulled the old punctured water supply tube off the force fit connectors on each end. I put a small amount of vaseline lubricant immediately inside the mouth of the new tube at each end. I pressed the ends of the new tube over the force fit connectors and tested them by shaking the pipe. I replaced the rack and fastened it into place.

Used a heat gun (or hair dryer could probably work)to stretch the ends of the hose to slip over areas to connect.

I removed the broken axle with the help of a small screwdriver and replaced it with a new one. Then I installed a new roller, which was easy because all I had to do was push it on with my fingers.

One of the easiest repairs I've ever made on anything and now I'm happy because my wife is happy!

It was 94 degrees that day so I set the rubber hose outside in the sun to loosen it up, make it more plyable. I then mixed up some soapy water and doused the ends of the hose with the soapy water and slid the hose right onto the fittings.

There was a small hole in the hose which was not discussed in the directions. I assumed the hole should be installed on the down side to let water drain out after the dishwasher is finished. This will reduce the chance of bacteria building in the hose.

I read the installation tips before I started and picked up the soap mix and heating up the hose before installation. Can be accomplished with a hair dryer if it is not 94+ degrees outside!!!

Thanks,

Jim

I removed the upper rack from the dishwasher by popping the two rack track stops out of the rack tracks. The old tube came off easily, and the new tube went on very nicely, after lubing each end with a dab of liquid dish soap. I put the rack back on its tracks , popped the track stops back in and my dishwasher was back in business.

I was goingto go to Home-Depot, and purchase a short piece of tubing to make the repair.
Just for the "heck" of it, I looked on-line --- and there it was. It is a large diameter thin wall tube, because water presiue is low, almost zero.
However, the replacement part was only $8,25, so I figured, what the heck, I can wait a few days and purchased the part from PartSelect.com. I lubricated the new tube with soap, to make the slip-fit go on easier and -------------- Done

Very easy ......... Thank you

Old roller wheels and axles were broken and already falling off. I simply replaced the roller axles and snapped on the new roller wheels.

Simply inserted the new rubber hose on the two fittings - a couple of minutes at most

simply pieced together the "tube"
